DME allows accurate measurement, ease of handling and convenient storage of partially used containers.
USE LME for high-volume brewing and when the flavor quality of syrup is clearly better then that of DME
Also - select a limited number of extracts so that you can rely on the results achieved from your brews.
My LHBS has LME at $2.49/lb, but DME at $5.75/lb.
My LHBS has LME at $2.49/lb, but DME at $5.75/lb. Obviously, I use LME pretty much exclusively. Of course, my brews always end up about 480205309 SRM darker than they should be, but I was doing ~2 gal boils for 5gal batches. Should be picking up a 30qt turkey fryer this weekend, so being able to do a 5gal boil + late addition should solve that problem I hope.
